As anticipated, Chris Brown appeared at an L.A. courthouse on April 6 to plead innocent at his allegation over assaulting ex-girlfriend, Rihanna.

As reported to the press around, “Brown quietly entered a not guilty plea on both of his felony charges of assault and making criminal threats.”

The “Kiss Kiss” crooner will revisit court for a hearing on April 29. In case condemned by court, he may perhaps face up to four years and eight months in prison.

In the meantime, Rihanna’s lawyer, Donald Etra, declared to the press subsequent to the arraignment: “What happened this afternoon is what we fully expected would happen this afternoon. It was merely a routine matter.”
